Children’s Book Illustrator Needed for Colorful Assistance Dog Book
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm seeking a talented illustrator to bring to life a children's book aimed at 8-12 year olds. The book will feature a mix of colorful and playful illustrations depicting a young girl and her experiences getting and working with an assistance dog for the first time. Therefore, experience with the disability community or assistance dogs is a plus, but not required. This initial project is for one book, but there is an opportunity for future work on upcoming books in the series.
There will be about 40 images in the book, including a cover design.
Key Requirements:
- Experience in children's book illustration
- Strong skills in colorful and playful art styles
- Ability to create engaging and age-appropriate illustrations for 8-12 year olds
- Proficiency in both human and dog character designs
Ideal Skills:
- Background in illustration, particularly for children's literature
- Creativity in developing whimsical and captivating scenes
- Attention to detail and ability to work within a cohesive theme
Please include a portfolio showcasing relevant work and a sample illustration from the instructions below.
Sample illustration instructions: Draw a young girl (any ethnicity) who uses arm crutches and loves gold. She is smiling and hugging a golden retriever or yellow lab. The dog looks happy to be hugged and should be wearing an assistance dog vest/cape. Use bright and fun colors and have a fun vibe.
